Astundu

September 11th is the day of the Catalan nation (see AP photo), and this year, Catalan independentists formed a human chain that was hundreds of kilometers long. Naturally, not everyone was happy with this show of sentiment. People in our neck of the woods are watching closely and expressing their own views on the proposed reforms. The retirement society building across the street posted this sign indicating their lack of support for those who would cut their pensions. Coincidentally, Lasarte hosted a heavy metal concert this week, bringing out the best in William Wallace-style fashion, goat head-adorned microphones, "shrunken" (beauty school mannequin) heads and burning crosses. It was a fete for all ages, which had to be moved under the tents/plastic wrap when it started raining.
